## Fields on this page

Layout controls in source order, grouped by the container they sit in. Shows: the table field a control is bound to (or its expression as written); ToolTip: the control's own, else the bound field's (marked).

| Group | Control | Shows | ToolTip |
|---|---|---|---|
| General | Enabled | [Enabled](../table/1853.md#fields) | Specifies if the forecasting feature is enabled. |
|  | Period Type | [Period Type](../table/1853.md#fields) | Specifies the type of period that you want to see the forecast by. |
|  | Horizon | [Horizon](../table/1853.md#fields) | Specifies how many periods you want the forecast to cover. |
|  | Stockout Warning Horizon | [Stockout Warning Horizon](../table/1853.md#fields) | Specifies how far in the future you want to look for stockouts. The value you enter works together with the unit of time specified in the Period Type field to determine the horizon. |
|  | API URI | [API URI](../table/1853.md#fields) | Specifies the API URI for the Azure Machine Learning instance. |
|  | API Key | `APIKeyValue` | Specifies the API key for the Time Series experiment in Azure Machine Learning. |
|  | Timeout (seconds) | [Timeout (seconds)](../table/1853.md#fields) | Specifies the number of seconds to wait before the call to Azure Machine Learning times out. |
|  | Variance % | [Variance %](../table/1853.md#fields) | Specifies the range of deviation, plus or minus, that you'll accept in the forecast. Lower percentages represent more accurate forecasts, and are typically between 20 and 40. Forecasts outside the range are considered inaccurate, and do not display. |
|  | Expiration Period (Days) | [Expiration Period (Days)](../table/1853.md#fields) | Specifies the number of days until the forecast expires. |
|  | Historical Periods | [Historical Periods](../table/1853.md#fields) | Specifies the number of historical periods from which to get data for the forecast. The length of the period is specified in the Period Type field. |
|  | Timeseries Model | [Timeseries Model](../table/1853.md#fields) | Specifies the algorithm to use for the time series analysis. |
| Statistics | Last Run Completed | [Last Run Completed](../table/1853.md#fields) | Specifies the date and time of the last completed forecast update. You cannot change this value. |
|  | Used Processing Time (Seconds) | `GetMLTotalProcessingTime()` | Specifies how many seconds of processing time have been used. You cannot change this value. |

## Ask your agent

Procedure bodies are not stored here (D10). The call sections above are our own, per object, from the BC29 call graph. For a procedure body or the calls of one procedure, ask bc-code-atlas (external, by Stefan Maron, MIT; default corpus w1-28), which the bc-observatory plugin connects: `bcatlas_resolve_node(object_type: "page", object_name: "Sales Forecast Setup Card")`, then `bcatlas_get_procedure_body` or `bcatlas_get_neighbors` on the returned id.
